About the Centre

Centre for Biomedical Engineering was established in 1971 as a Joint programme of
Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi and All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Delhi.
The Centre has applied engineering principles to address medical and biological
problems. It has faculty from diverse backgrounds who are actively engaged in various
interdisciplinary research activities. In addition, the centre has collaborative projects
with major institutes and hospitals in India and abroad. Over the years, it has become a
premier centre for biomedical research in the country and has provided interdisciplinary
base to develop health care technologies. In the last two decades the focus has expanded
to include biological medicine, development of innovative biomaterials, implants,
biomedical devices, and informatics approaches for the prevention, diagnosis and
treatment of diseases.

Research and Development

The Centres research focus
spans in areas such as:

Bio-Instrumentation:
Biosensor, Molecular markers
in diseases, Lab-on-a-chip,
Microfluidics, Biomedical
transducers and sensors,
Neuro endoscopy, Integrated
healthcare, Assistive devices &
rehabilitation, DNA based
diagnostics.
Biomaterials: Nanomedicine, Controlled drug delivery systems, Soft skin
regeneration, Brain and cancer targeting of bioactive molecules, Wound care healing,
Tissue engineering, Medical diagnostics and therapy.

Biomechanics: Orthopaedics, Orthodontics, Computational analysis.

Neuromechanics, Neural prosthetics.

Medical Imaging: MRI, CT, etc., Development of protocols, methods/models,

techniques and software tools, Image processing, Quantitative image analysis.
Recently major facilities such as Confocal laser scanning microscope, Raman
Spectroscopy with imaging and Flow cytometer has been installed. New labs based on
drug delivery, laser micromachining, Lab-on-a-chip and image processing have been
initiated.

International Collaborations
Center has active collaborations with Universities in Germany, USA and Japan
CBME has MoU with National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and
Technology (AIST), Japan and Bioelectronics Research Centre, Toyo University, Japan
Center has initiated and successfully running DBT sponsored Stanford-India
Biodesign program (now School of International Biodesign) in collaboration with
AIIMS, New Delhi

About the Masters Programme

With rapid increase in disease burden and associated healthcare costs in almost every country,
there is an immediate need for large scale investment in establishing quality education centres
to train manpower for biomedical industry. Without the trained manpower, required biomedical
research and development can not succeed to bring consistent innovation in development of
cost-effective and reliable healthcare products.

M.Tech. programme in Biomedical Engineering is designed for students from both engineering
and science disciplines to give training in frontier areas for solving the longstanding problems
of healthcare. The course shall initiate induction of 20 students per year across various
disciplines of study. The students shall also be drawn from industry, as public-private
collaboration is essential for the successful translation of biomedical research and development.

As the course is highly multidisciplinary in nature, the students shall be provided with basic
knowledge across biology, chemistry, mathematics, clinical science and engineering in the
initial semester and in the final semesters they shall undertake research project in their area of
interest. While designing the curriculum, we have ensured that along with developing a strong
base in biomedical engineering through well designed multidisciplinary courses, the students
get the opportunity to expand their creativity, independent thinking and problem solving
aptitude via extensive laboratory exposure.

Requirements for Admission

Students of different academic backgrounds will be admitted through written test and interview.
All students admitted in this programme will be governed by the Institute rules and regulations.
The student must meet the general Institute requirements for M. Tech. degree as well as the
Centers requirements and must complete the program approved by the student's advisor.

The general guidelines for admission are:

Fulfilling the minimum eligibility criteria as per Institute norms.
B.Tech./B.E. in Biomedical, Chemical, Computer Science, Electrical, Electronics and
Communications, Instrumentation and Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Physics,
Biochemical Engineering and Biotechnology, Materials Science. & Technology OR
M.Sc. or equivalent in Biotechnology, Chemistry, Electronics, Materials Science,
Mathematics, Polymer Science and Technology, Physics OR
M.B.B.S or B.D.S
B.Pharm. (duration 4 years and more)
The entrance examination criteria for bachelors in Medicine and Dental Sciences shall be
either GATE (if available) or other GATE equivalent national examinations. In other
disciplines, requirement of a GATE score shall be as per institute norms.
Students admitted to this programme under sponsored category are expected to have
their own source of funding.

Prospects after the Degree

After the successful completion of the program, we envision that our graduates will
have variety of career options, including:
Research & development personnel in healthcare, pharmacuetical, biotech and
medical device industry
Evaluating new medical technologies for venture capital firms
Initiating start-up companies in various areas of Biomedical Engineering
Pursuing academic research and teaching in Biomedical Science & Engineering
Hospitals, diagnostic labs and other health care facilities
